Guess Who Showed Up for Work at the Senate After the Blizzard? A Bunch of Women

The Washington Post reports that it was Senator Lisa Murkowski who spotted what all the attendees had in common:

The Alaska Republican was one of only a few lawmakers in the Capitol building following the weekend blizzard, and it was her job to handle the formalities of delaying Senate business until her colleagues could get back to work. After finishing a bit of parliamentary business, she described what she saw in the ornate chamber.

“As we convene this morning, you look around the chamber, the presiding officer is female. All of our parliamentarians are female. Our floor managers are female. All of our pages are female.”

It was a coincidence. As much as a room full of women who turned up for work while their male colleagues sit at home ever is, of course.
